I have a 6 year old Speckled Sussex hen who yesterday after I was finished with work, I had noticed something was clearly wrong. She had been totally fine and her normal spunky self that morning with a clear crop as well. Looking at her poops and body language, I made the guess that she was...

I have a Jersey Giant hen that will be 3 years old this May. She had started laying again at the end of January after her molt/winter break, laid for a few weeks and then has stopped now for a few weeks. This past weekend, I started to notice what appeared to look like intestinal shedding in her...

Hi, I have a Blue Splash Marans hen that will be 2 years old this Spring. Over this past year, she's had a squishy crop that seems to come and go. The first was last Jan.2020, which I actually posted about. However, we now have dealt with this in Oct/Nov and I just finished treating her with...

Hi, I have a Blue Splash Marans hen that is 8 months old with a squishy crop. I check my girls crops every morning and yesterday was when I first noticed hers hadn’t fully emptied and felt squishy. I did feel her crop before going to bed last night and it was full and then checked again first...

My 5 ½ yr old Black Australorp has developed a lump near her eye and it has grown in size during this past week. This all started last Wednesday when I noticed her eye looked a little stretched (she had this same thing happen this past Spring, but there was never any swelling and it eventually...

Hey all, I have 5 pullets that are 7 weeks old and about 5 days ago, I noticed a poop that looked like it had some intestinal lining in it. Since, that was the only one and everyone was acting fine, I decided to keep an eye on their poops. Now yesterday morning and this morning, I saw another...

Hi- Just yesterday I noticed my Black Australorp's left eye looked strange. It almost looks as if the eye lid is being pulled up, so more white of the eye is showing. They were free ranging around the yard and we had just cut back a lot of grasses and shrubs, so I'm hoping it's as simple as a...

I have a Buff Orpington that starts to breath with her beak open when sitting on my lap, laying down, pecking the ground, or when she's being held. She has done this occasionally on and off for quite a while now, but just recently it has gotten more frequent and now she makes a squeaking noise...

My 2 1/2 year old Speckled Sussex hen is going on day 3 of a fairly full crop in the mornings. Today I noticed her breath is smelling yeasty and slightly stinky, so I'm thinking I should go ahead and start treating her for sour crop and actually gave her one dose (1cc) of monistat this morning...

I have a 2 1/2 year old Speckled Sussex that is going on day 2 of not pooping. I do notice that she will occasionally pass a small amount of white stuff that looks like urates. A little back history....This all started Sunday evening when I had let them all out to free range and I noticed her...

I have been noticing occasional poops like this in the morning from my Buff Orpington hen. Does anyone know what this might be indicative of? She just turned 4 years old and laid her first egg of the season last week. Prior to that, she had stopped laying last July when she began molting and...

This poop is from my 2 1/2 year old RIR. Just a few days ago, she was completely fine and it wasn't until Friday afternoon that I noticed something going on with her. Here's a little history.... Friday afternoon, I noticed she seemed a little off and didn't come running when I scattered some...

I have a black australorp hen who is about 1 year and 3 months. This past Sunday evening, I noticed her just standing in one place at times with her eyes closed while the others scratched around. She kept doing this on and off. Her feathers weren't ruffled, just looked like she was napping in...

Our EE is 10 months old and stopped laying in late November and started back up mid January, which I understand is because of the lack of daylight. Once she started back up in January, she was laying several a week, but as of last week, she has stopped laying again. These are my first chickens...

Hi Everyone! We live in Salt Lake City, UT and are new to chickens since this past spring. Last April we had ordered 5 chicks (Buff Orpington, Australorp, Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red and an Easter Egger) and now they are quite the lovely ladies. This has been such a fun experience and...
